Hi Guys,
I have a friend who asked me to post this question. Can any of you Bobcat builders trace the ribs for the root and tip for the inner and outer panels and send them to him?He has an idea for a plane and loves how my bobcat flies and wants to use that section for the airfoils. Thanks, just let me know and I will forward his address.

Well, if your friend likes how the BC flies, why doesn't he just get a Bob Cat kit and save all the design work?
Buy a sure thing.

Good Idea Bob,
The only problem with it is; he has a Bobcat and wants to have the good flying qualities with another plane which is larger. He has trouble seeing it far out and wants a bigger one.

In your original post you said how he loves the way your BC flies. In your 2nd post you said he has a BC. Why can't he draw a airfoil from that.

Bob,

You can't trace the airfoil at the tip on a completed plane unless you use one of those tools that conforms to shapes. The root would be easy to trace, though. I've been kicking around the idea of building a larger BobCat for myself. I'm thinking 80" wingspan for a 28-35 lb. turbine. Mine would have foam core wings and the landing gear would retract in a conventional manner toward the center of the aircraft instead of rearward or, house the retracts in the booms ala P-38 Lightning. Mine would also have flaps. I would also like someone to trace the last rib at the wing tip, root, last rib of the center wing section before the boom and also the center rib on the center wing section. A giant BobCat!!!! I'll call it the BobCat XXL!!!

Thank's Kevin,
Thats also just what he wants to do.

Wht not go with a JMP Hustler and avoid the design hassles. Just a thought, Mike K.

Hy!

In the past time we build a plane called Vienna-JET and he looks like the BobCat.

We used a NACA0012 for wing and a NACA 0009 for stab.

look at www.fmbc-vienna.at.tf at gallery turbinen jetīs.

I hope it help.

Well well well, Over three hundred guys have looked at this post and no one has yet to answer the question posed other than those who didn't respond, their answers were obviously no.Moderator please close the thread and save the bandwidth as one of our friends is ordering a Bobcat and we can trace them from his kit.
